Hikers flock to Uluru before closure

Uluru, the popular sandstone rock in northern Australia, is closing to hikers this month due to the wishes of its indigenous owners. Before that happens, however, thousands of tourists are flocking to the site to hike the rock before it closes on October 26. In November 2017, the management board of the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park voted to ban tourists from climbing Uluru, and since then people have been showing up in record numbers.

This really is nuts.

The #Uluru climb two days ago. It closes for good in October.
